Abstract: One of the main problems in studying the toponymy of the Northern Black Sea region is our fragmentary knowledge about it, which is collected bit by bit from written sources, inscriptions, ethnography, etc. Therefore, the discovery of several local toponyms is always a very important event for the toponymy of a region. This note will focus on several toponyms of the medieval Sugdea (modern Sudak), read in one of the glosses in the margins of the Sugdean Synaxarium and introduced into scientific circulation by M. Nistazopulu. A more thorough study of the glosses makes it possible to read the name of the Sugdean mountain – Daut.

Keywords:
